P-1 Pre-Feasibility Report Bhavya Cements Limited, 2 Introduction of the Project / Background Information 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent: The objective of this pre-feasibility study is to provide information for modernization of existing plant capacity in exist plant land at Thangeda Village, Dachepally Mandal, Guntur Dist, Andhra Pradesh. (i) The core promoters of BCL are Mr. V. Ananda Prasad & Mr. P. Siva Kumar. Brief profiles of the promoters are given below: Mr. V. Ananda Prasad He is a mechanical engineer with 35 years of experience in Cement and construction industry. He is Promoter and Managing Director of Bhavya Cements Limited and also Bhavya constructions. Bhavya constructions has executed more than 50 projects of around 2.02 million square feet and implementing is implementing projects of about 4.0 million square feet. Mr P.Siva Kumar Sri P Siva Kumar, aged 49 years, is a graduate in civil engineering from Osmania University. He is promoter and Director of Bhavya Cements Limited. He promoted a partnership firm Sri Mahavishnu Constructions which has planned, designed and executed two residential/commercial construction projects aggregating to about 1.00 lakh square feet. Since 1999 he has been a business associate in Bhavya Constructions on a project to project basis. (ii) Need for the project The cement industry in India has been on a robust growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors like real estate and construction. It is modern and deploys latest technology, which is among the best in the world. Additionally, the industry has great potential for development as limestone of excellent quality is found in this area. India is the second largest producer of cement on the globe after China. P-2 Pre-Feasibility Report Bhavya Cements Limited, Indian Cement Industry - Production and Consumption Cement Production Cement Consumption in Year in million tons million tons 2011-12 230.47 221 2012-13 24823 239 2013-14 255.826 245 2014-15 270.038 256 2015-16 283.457 269 2016-17 279.813 270 The cement industry in India has received a great impetus from a number of infrastructure projects taken up by the Government of India like road networks and housing facilities. While the Indian cement industry enjoys a phenomenal phase of growth, experts reveal that it is poised towards a highly prosperous future over the very recent years. Estimates state that the capacity in the sector is 475 MTPA with 575 operational cement plants by September 2017. The cement industry in the subcontinent is dominated by around 20 companies. Government Initiatives With an objective of accelerating and sustaining growth in the cement industry the government has taken various steps. The infrastructure sector has received an impetus in the form of improved funds and tax related incentives offered to attract investors for tapping the infrastructure opportunities around the country. Introduction of tax free bonds, formation of infrastructure debt funds and formulating a comprehensive policy for developing public private partnership projects (PPPs) are some of the steps that will provide required stimulus for growth of cement industry in India. The proposal for Amruth cities and affordable housing schemes by Government of India would enhance the demand for cement as housing sector alone has 67% share followed by infrastructure with 13% share of cement consumption. Growth in domestic cement demand is likely to remain strong, given the revival in the housing markets, constant government spending on the rural sector, and due to rise in the number of infrastructure projects being implemented by the private P-3 Pre-Feasibility Report Bhavya Cements Limited, sector. Furthermore, it is expected that the industry players will continue to increase their annual cement output in coming years and India’s cement production will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 5-6 per cent during 2017-20. (iii) Demand drivers in the near term The Housing segment accounts for a major portion of the total domestic demand for cement in India. Real estate market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6 per cent over 2011–20, with the market expected to reach USD180 billion by 2020. Growing urbanisation, an increasing number of households and higher employment are primarily driving the demand for housing, accounting for 67 per cent of the total consumption. Initiatives by the government are expected to provide an impetus to construction activity in rural & semi urban areas through large infrastructure & housing development projects respectively The government is strongly focused on infrastructure development to boost economic growth & is aiming for 100 smart cities. It plans to increase investment in infrastructure to USD1 trillion in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012–17), compared with USD514 billion under the 11th Five Year Plan (2007–12). Infrastructure projects such as Dedicated Freight Corridors as well as new & upgraded airports & ports are expected to further drive construction activity. The government intends to expand the capacity of the railways & the facilities for handling & storage to ease the transportation of cement & reduce transportation costs.
